Prospect John Gaub

I've been wondering after the recent announcement of the September call-ups why John Gaub wasn't included. To refresh everyone's memory Gaub was one of the three prospects acquired from the Indians for Derosa. Gaub is absolutely lighting the PCL on fire with his stuff and since being called up to Iowa he's posted 0.812 WHIP and has averaged 11k/9. Control or lack thereof might be what is keeping him in Iowa but by all accounts Gaub has a plus fastball, slider and is able to mix in an average change.

Maybe Josh the BCB minor league reporter can help fill us in on why Mr. Gaub isn't yet in the show.
